The Titans made the right decision in locking Taylor Lewan up with a lucrative, long-term deal in 2018, as he’s become one of the premier left tackle in the sport during his career.

But now it’s time for Lewan, who will make $18.2 million in 2020, to return the favor.

Lewan will be just 29 when the new season starts, so the risk of converting some of his 2020 salary into signing bonus money and creating bigger cap hits down the road wouldn’t be too risky of a proposition.
